I'm engaged! The ring's been done for weeks, and my boyfriend was rubbish at hiding the box, so it was pure torture waiting for it. Unfortunately I'm having a really hard time taking good photos of this thing - I end up with lots of blurry photos... especially sad 'cause so many of the blurry photos show off biggest chunks of fire and pastel flashes!

Since this is a fully custom setting, and it's intended to be a "forever" ring, I was initially planning to go with one of the trusted forum favorites to make this ring, but my fiancee and I went out on a limb and went with a local jeweler. I still have to get used to calling my SO my fiancee! We've been together for 8 years now - we've been dating since we were both in high school.

For the curious - this ring features a 7mm FB OEC moissanite and two 1.3mm blue sapphires. It's platinum, so it's delightfully heavy!
